All we can do is control what is in our hands. That doesn’t include the weather or the Aussies.

Or our bats, or the ball - at times ;>

Rain forecast all day tomorrow in Antigua, stopping around 6-7pm. Our game is scheduled for 3pm so could be another wash-out.

The forecast for Antigua always looks like that! It’s called “tropical weather” "the rainy season"…

Thought I'd add that.

True

Big game just about to start, two of the early pacesetters

India v USA.....

Edit, India get a wicket first ball

And another with the 5th ball

USA have recovered well. Should post at least a semi-competitve total of 120+.

Kohli out for a golden duck! This could get interesting.

USA are useless. Took them 2 balls to get a wicket. Some journeyman called Kohli.

[SydneyBridge]

Not sure who i want to win, but a good game so far.

Same here. I usually support the underdog as a neutral, but it's hard to support USA in anything.

10-2

Some movement for this lad on a 2 paced wicket

Are the pitches that bad, not seen any footage dont have sky, a lot of strange results?

The drop in pitch in New York has had the most criticism, however it has improved so it’s ok but no way a flat track. Making the games more interesting.

That ball was a beauty!

Twas.

Good to see Pant back though. He was told after his accident it will be a miracle if he playa cricket again

Definitely. It will be a while I imagine until he finds his mojo again. Saw a picture of the car; miracle he survived.

What part of his mojo do you think is missing ? He had a good IPL and has been good here so far too.

I think the unpredictable pitch in NY has made for some very interesting games, much preferable to a slog fest.
